Haha, that's my area of expertise, I'm learning to become a food tech. The thing is, that food is still safe to eat, the standards are very strict, you can't believe how difficult it is to have a "perfect" product, shit always happens to it. Anyway, most of the effects of that are aesthetic, as the site said, so it means it's still ok to eat.

Fun facts - some people die in milk storage silos because of lack of air inside. Once, an electrician corpse was stuck there for a week and the milk from the inside was still used.

If someone falls into a batch of product, like molten chocolate, it's still used because 60 thousand dollars is quite a lot of money. Usually all that crap is made harmless during preparation, and you have nothing to worry about.For example, if Stephilococcus (sp?) is found in a dairy manufacturing facility they shut it all down, take all of the stuff they made in the last 5 days and take it to get burnt to a special offsite facility and have a huge washdown. You have steph bacteria in your nose. Don't worry, it's all good, don't be scared of food.

I worked in the food industry over the holidays, making bacon. None of this stuff suprises me, mould is good, how do you think cheese is made?
The worst thing I saw during my time there was a dead fly stuck to the back of a bit of meat, the fly was cooked onto the meat. We just picked the fly off and sent the meat off for slicing.

Lots of stuff that might look ominious, isnt actually all that bad. Bactera is mostly killed above 60deg and becomes inactive below 5 (all Celcius). Meat cooking is done at 75-80 degrees, then they go STRAIGHT into a chiller that stays at about -5 degrees.

You all talk about how beer is good, but that is made through fermentation, which if you know how it is actually done, sounds really dubious.

Most of them, the significance was nothing more than Asthetic anyway. You Americans have fairly lax food standards anyway.

When you have IBS, you have to eat like a 65 year old with heart problems hahaha.

Jeez, that was surprising. Working in the food industry myself, I would have thought you could get away with way more than that. I know I do

When was the last time you ate 50 grams of cinnamon, for fuck's sake?

Unscary. You eat all kinds of gunk all the time without realising it. Other people's bacteria on glasses, bugs in your vegetables, caterpillars in your salad, your own skin when you wipe your mouth.

Verdit: Sounds gross, isn't.

(What's IBS? International Basketcase Syndrome?)

Last year some old lady where i live cut her tongue while sealing an envelope, and like 4 weeks later there was a cockroach INSIDE of her tongue

Oh yes, I've heard of that. It sounds, well, irritating.

thats total bullshit, just another internet rumor.

Oh well. I've been eating all that stuff my whole life and it has never bothered me before.

This is all great stuff......and as mentioned before....this is mostly for asthetics......the human body can handle some really nasty stuff quite well.

I read that most of the milk (all products made with milk) have blood mixed in......auto milking machines suck the cows udders very hard and once the milk runs dry.....a certain amount of blood is collected also.

Strawberry milkshakes!!! Yummmm

Yep.....urban legend....that story made it's rounds long ago and was never proven.

yeah man that happened to me last week... i had to have a implant tongue mounted to my jaw. Its controlled by a wireless remote. once i stuck the tongue out and it .......

Bleh, too much stuff to worry about. Your body can take care of alot of stuff like this. I mean, when was the last time you had cockaroaches growing out of your eye or something? Probably has not happened. I mean, did you know that your pillows and bed have stuff like this in them? http://creatures.ifas.ufl.edu/urban...t_mite_fig1.jpg Yeah, that's a dust mite. I don't think they are going to attack you (besides removing dust), unless you have osme sort of respiratory problem. Then their waste can be a problem.

Yeah, seriously. It makes me laugh with all these fucking goofballs that are like "OMG, there's one RAT allowed per 100 TONS OF HOT DOG! YUKKERZ!" Shut the fuck up and eat your food. I personally don't eat hot dogs, but that's because they taste like shit. I'd still eat a cheeseburger if I found out there's two maggots and a rat pellet in every sandwich.

__________________

That's really repulsive.

eating maggots and a rat pellet is probably more healthy than eating some artificial, manufactured snack like a twinky

Yeah, no shit. At least it's organic.

the main concern in a burger is not rat shit.....its the cows intestinal track being ruptured as is being gutted. and dont forget the fact that cows are eating processed gruel formally known as other cows setting us up for some bovine spingeaform. ill eat a buger from time to time too but slaughter house practices are deplorable here in the states, there is no doubt about the risk on eating meat, and remember its the meat companies choice to recall beef, not the governments, when they look at the costs of liability
and profit loss on the recall, they crunch the numbers, then decide to save lives, the companies dont even have to go public on thier recalls, its all in fast food nation, read the book

This form of bovine cannibalism was the precise cause of the CJD (so-called 'Mad Cow Disease') outbreak in the UK. British beef has only recently been allowed back on sale in mainland Europe TEN years after the first case was detected. American companies should consider the effects of not being allowed to export their produce before they think again about cancelling a recall of infected meat. Or more likely with corporate America, they could just bribe the Food Standards Agency.
